Starting a new business can be a daunting task.  While you’re out there working to grow your new business, there’s no one back at the office holding down the fort.  How many hang-ups do you get on your office line, just because a “live” person doesn’t answer?  And the cost of a brick and mortar space – that can be sky-high depending upon the location.

So let’s see what you will likely need – as a minimum – to set up your office.  For starters, you will need the office space, itself, whether a small building or an office within a physical location.  Next you’ll need the furniture, including equipment such as computers, copiers, multi-line phones, and so on.  Of course you’ll need someone to man those phones, even if just to take messages or forward appropriate calls to your cell phone.  You’ll also need the capital to pay a salary to the receptionist.  All of those are just the physical items; they don’t include fees or operation capital for six months to a year.  They don’t even take into consideration that most places offer some kind of benefits package to that lonely receptionist if the hours worked are fulltime.

Did we say “daunting?”  Yes, we did.  A fulltime brick and mortar office space may be more than your fledgling company can handle right now.  With that in mind, why not shift horses from the out-dated idea of a fulltime physical presence, and instead consider maintaining a virtual office?  Many business owners are turning on to the office space of the 21st century – the virtual office.

With a virtual office like those provided by Apollo Business Centers, you can get all of that and more.  Do you need a “live” voice answering your phone when you aren’t available?  Do you need office space only one or two days a month – the rest of the time you are beating the pavement?  Do you need an office assistant one day a month to help with office-related tasks?  Instead of setting up a fulltime office, check out all a virtual office has to offer you.  You might just be surprised!

In today’s economy if a business owner doesn’t know or figure out how to save the expenses more than likely the business will not thrive. Learning where to save and not cut corners where extra should be given will lead to a stronger business and reaping more benefits for all those involved.

Many times with all of the paperwork involved running a business we need a few extra assistants. But if we have a virtual office how do we manage assistants? Is this possible? Yes, and for a fraction of the cost than it costs to have someone in the office full time.

Through the Apollo Business Center’s virtual assistant program you are able to save the business thousands of dollars. The average price for a full time virtual assistant is about $600 per month. All of our virtual assistants speak perfect English and have great office management skills as well as clerical skills.

In many cases a business will not need a full time assistant all of the time. In this case you hire the assistant just for the time needed to get the work completed. Then when the job is finished you are not responsible to find more work to make it worth your time as well as the assistant’s time.

This is saving the business money the best way possible without giving up the great expectations you have conformed your customers into receiving. You supply the best business and we help you get the job done right at the fraction of the cost. No overhead to worry about to have an area for the assistant to work yet great work is accomplished and business continues to thrive.

Be sure to check out the Apollo Business Center’s virtual assistant program to help fill the needs of your business and you can run your company with confidence.

For many, the word entrepreneur means to have a business of their own and to make it work. For many, this dream can be realized and can actually work. For others they just need that little bit of push and they are off and running and owning the road.
